This may not be the album you expected. You might not even like it like their other stuff. The point of art and being artists is to grow and try new things. All of you that had to be so harsh and hurtful should now feel just a little ashamed. Chester was very sensitive caring. He gave you his art. What did you give him in return? Money can't by peace of mind.

Well, first off, I'll say that it's hard for LP to make something that's as shocking and jarring as Minutes to Midnight was, in terms of what you expect versus what you get. I won't do a track-by-track review, but overall I'd rate this somewhere between The Hunting Party and Minutes to Midnight (in terms of better to meh). There isn't much rap or traditional metal on the album, and it has a LOT of "pop" flavor. Some people might like it, some will probably hate it, I'm more ambivalent. The overall sound, compared to what I generally expect from LP, was a bit of a surprise: there's a lot of softer tracks from them here, with the high energy songs still avoiding going into full blast. Which, personally, I like.

Honestly though, I'd say that what I truly love is the lyrics, even on the songs I'm not as crazy about. One More Light (the titular song) promptly shoved Castle of Glass from #2 to #3 on my favorites, and it might actually be genuinely fighting with Numb for the #1 spot. The lyrics are much more intensely personal, while not often getting to explicit: one of the things that made songs like Breaking the Habit so fantastic. I honestly feel like this is closer to what they wanted Living Things to be: a very melodic, relatively fast-paced album that still sounds good split into singles. Rather than a load of singles that were shoved onto an album.

So, if you're a Linkin Park fan of the newer era (ie, you survived Minutes to Midnight and A Thousand Suns), I highly recommend this. If you haven't listened to a full album since Meteora/Hybrid Theory though, I'd recommend starting out with Living Things or The Hunting Party: they're much closer to the sound of the early albums, while still providing a bridge to what One More Light is.

Listened to Linkin Park growing up. I wouldn't call myself a die hard fan, but I would find myself ALWAYS listening to their music. Linkin Park and the music industry definitely suffered a tragic lost. Chester Bennington had a beautiful voice. This album was definitely different from all the ones previously released, but Linkin Park has always evolved through the years and has a wide range of fans. Great album!

This CD is amazing. Perhaps my favorite Linkin Park CD. The emotion and passion in Chester's voice is undeniable. This is one of those albums that no matter how many times I listen to it... I can still listen to it without skipping a track.

At first, I was expecting something harder, especially after The Hunting Party, but as these beats, words and melodies sunk in, I could not stop listening to this album over and over again. We are blessed with heartfelt lyrics from Chester and more singing and rapping from Mike.

The trap hi hats and vocal samples were a great addition to this album too. Its been a pleasure to grow with this group.

I'm very happy with this album, been listening to Linkin Park since the beginning and have alway loved their music, even if it's always changing. I don't know why some people are giving out about it. All the songs are great. Mike Shinoda singing himself on 2 tracks was good. And Chester Bennington always sounds great. It's sad he's gone. But I'm always going to be a fan of Linkin Park.
